Free Gift Mentality of the Government

 I saw this three liner come up today.  The Joe Biden team is looking at this idea that they'd just send (didn't say how) Covid-19 masks direct to your house.  I should note, for a very brief time....some Trump dimwits picked up the idea....held it for about a day, and then dumped it.

So you'd naturally ask questions.

First, where are these masks made?  China, or Mexico?  

Second, who exactly is capable of mailing these out?  Well....Amazon is the only capable party in the US capable of doing this.  

Third, is the government about to hand the address business of every single American to Amazon to make this possible?  I don't see how they'd avoid it.

Would people even wear them, if they were free?

So if this worked, and you started to get a box of 30 cheapo masks each first of the month....would this eventually expand?

I mean like....well....couldn't you say that some folks were bad off and you (as the government guy) wanted to share 22 pounds of cheese every month with every household?

Then maybe you could put vitamin pills in the box?

Then maybe you could add two rolls of North Korean single-ply toilet paper to the box?

Then you'd add six cans of canned Bolivian ham to the box?

Then you'd add government-procured soap and shampoo to the box?

Then you'd add some cheapo Mexican salsa to the box?

Then you'd add some instant Nicaraguan coffee to the box?

After a while, you'd all gather on the front-porch....excited because the mailman came and left you a Biden box, and you'd sit there grinning ear to ear....because Joe sent you this month two packs of Brazilian cigarettes' and a miniature bottle of mayonnaise made in India.  

Not to condemn all of this, but this is the way that government programs get out of control and become a joke.
